- The PIEPS BACKUP is worn activated and directly at the body.
- If the rescuer is in motion the PIEPS BACKUP does not transmit.
- The PIEPS BACKUP continuously scans to see if a transceiver is sending nearby. If “yes” it does not transmit.
- The PIEPS BACKUP detects an emergency ("no motion“ and "no transmitting beacon nearby”): Only then will the PIEPS BACKUP start to transmit.
- The PIEPS BACKUP can be received with every standard beacon.
- Active search operations are never influenced.
- The PIEPS BACKUP may only be used in combination with an avalanche transceiver.

The PIEPS BACKUP is a mini-transmitter (Frequency 457 kHz) that is worn directly on the body in conjunction with your beacon. The PIEPS BACKUP only transmits in an emergency. Therefore PIEPS provides the first 100% solution in case of a secondary avalanche. The PIEPS BACKUP detects an emergency (no motion“ and no transmitting beacon nearbyâ€): Only then will the PIEPS BACKUP start to transmit!
